                               RAYOVAC CORPORATION
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                    (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)


     1   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         BASIS OF PRESENTATION: These financial statements have been prepared by
         Rayovac Corporation (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the
         rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
         "SEC") and, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments (all
         of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present
         fairly the financial position of the Company at January 2, 2000,
         results of operations for the three month periods ended January 2,
         2000, and January 3, 1999, and cash flows for the three month periods
         ended January 2, 2000, and January 3, 1999. Certain information and
         footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
         in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
         condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These
         condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto as
         of September 30, 1999. Certain prior year amounts have been
         reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

         DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Derivative financial instruments are
         used by the Company principally in the management of its interest rate,
         foreign currency and raw material price exposures. The Company does not
         hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

         The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk.
         The net amounts to be paid or received under interest rate swap
         agreements designated as hedges are accrued as interest rates change,
         and are recognized over the life of the swap agreements, as an
         adjustment to interest expense from the underlying debt to which the
         swap is designated. The related amounts payable to, or receivable from,
         the counter-parties are included in accrued liabilities or accounts
         receivable. The Company has entered into a series of interest rate swap
         agreements which effectively fix the interest rate on floating rate
         debt at a rate of 6.404% for a notional principal amount of $75,000 for
         the period October 1999 through October 2002. The unrealized portion of
         the fair value of these contracts at January 2, 2000 was $662.

         The Company has entered into an amortizing cross currency interest rate
         swap agreement. The agreement effectively fixes the interest and
         foreign exchange on floating rate debt denominated in U.S. Dollars at a
         rate of 5.34% denominated in German Marks. The unamortized notional
         principal amount at January 2, 2000 was $2,961. The fair value at
         January 2, 2000 was $288.

         The Company has entered into a set of foreign exchange put and call
         option contracts for the period December 1999 through September 2000 to
         hedge the risk from settlement of US Dollar-denominated debt with
         Mexican Pesos. Buying a Peso put allows the Company to exchange a
         specified quantity of Pesos for U.S. Dollars with the seller of the put
         at a fixed exchange rate through a specified date. Selling a Peso put
         allows the buyer of the put to exchange a specified quantity of Pesos
         for U.S. Dollars with the Company at a fixed exchange rate through a
         specified date. Selling a Peso call allows the buyer of the call to
         exchange a specified quantity of Pesos for U.S. Dollars with the
         Company at a fixed exchange rate through a specified date. The set of
         contracts effectively fixes the exchange rate for Pesos to Dollars to a
         range with a ceiling determined by the strike rate of the call sold,
         and a floor determined by the strike rate of the put purchased but
         further limited to the strike rate of the put sold. If the actual
         market rate of exchange declines past the strike rate of the put sold,
         the benefit of the put purchased is gradually offset to zero at which
         point the Company is effectively exposed to fluctuation in the
         Peso/U.S. Dollar rate as though no hedge contract existed. The cost of
         the first put and premiums received from sale of the second put and the
         call, are amortized over the life of the contracts and are recorded as
         an adjustment to foreign exchange gains or losses to income. The fair
         value of these contracts at January 2, 2000 was ($101).

                                       5
<PAGE>

         The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate
         the risk from anticipated settlement in local currencies of
         inter-company purchases and sales. These contracts generally require
         the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. dollars. The
         contracts are marked to market, and the related adjustment is
         recognized in other expense (income). The related amounts payable to,
         or receivable from, the counter-parties are included in accounts
         payable or accounts receivable. The Company has $5,395 of forward
         exchange contracts at January 2, 2000. The unrealized portion of the
         fair value of the contracts at January 2, 2000 was immaterial.

         The Company also enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to
         hedge the risk from anticipated settlement in local currencies of trade
         sales. These contracts generally require the Company to exchange
         foreign currencies for Pounds Sterling. The related amounts receivable
         from the trade customers are included in accounts receivable. The
         Company has approximately $5,412 of such forward exchange contracts at
         January 2, 2000. The unrealized portion of the fair value of the
         contracts at January 2, 2000, was $326.

         The Company is exposed to risk from fluctuating prices for zinc used in
         the manufacturing process. The Company hedges some of this risk through
         the use of commodity swaps, calls and puts. The swaps effectively fix
         the floating price on a specified quantity of a commodity through a
         specified date. Buying calls allows the Company to purchase a specified
         quantity of a commodity for a fixed price through a specified date.
         Selling puts allows the buyer of the put to sell a specified quantity
         of a commodity to the Company for a fixed price through a specific
         date. The maturity of, and the quantities covered by, the contracts
         highly correlate to the Company's anticipated purchases of the
         commodities. The cost of the calls, and the premiums received from the
         puts, are amortized over the life of the contracts and are recorded in
         cost of goods sold, along with the effects of the swap, put and call
         contracts.

         At January 2, 2000, the Company had entered into a series of swaps for
         zinc with a contract value of $3,866 for the period December 1999
         through September 2000. While these transactions have no carrying
         value, the unrealized portion of the fair value of these contracts
         at January 2, 2000, was $621.

     5   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         In March 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase
         certain equipment and to pay annual royalties. In connection with the
         1998 agreement, which supersedes previous agreements dated December
         1991, and March 1994, the Company committed to pay royalties of $2,000
         in 1998 and 1999, $3,000 in 2000 through 2002, and $500 in each year
         thereafter, as long as the related equipment patents are enforceable
         (2022). The Company incurred royalty expenses of $2,000 for 1997, 1998
         and 1999. Additionally, the Company has committed to purchase $519 of
         tooling at January 2, 2000.

         The Company has provided for the estimated costs associated with
         environmental remediation activities at some of its current and former
         manufacturing sites. In addition, the Company, together with other
         parties, has been designated a potentially responsible party at various
         sites on the United States EPA National Priorities List (Superfund).
         The Company provides for the estimated costs of investigation and
         remediation of these sites when such losses are probable and the
         amounts can be reasonably estimated. The actual cost incurred may vary
         from these estimates due to the inherent uncertainties involved. The
         Company believes that any additional liability in excess of the amounts
         provided of $2,639, which may result from resolution of these matters,
         will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition,
         liquidity, or cash flow of the Company.

         The Company has certain other contingent liabilities with respect to
         litigation, claims and contractual agreements arising in the ordinary
         course of business. In the opinion of management, such contingent
         liabilities are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the
         financial condition, liquidity or cash flow of the Company.

     7   SEGMENT INFORMATION

         The Company manages operations in three reportable segments based upon
         geographic area. North America includes the United States and Canada;
         Latin America includes Mexico, Central America, and South America;
         Europe/Rest of World ("Europe/ROW") includes the United Kingdom, Europe
         and all other countries in which the Company does business.

         The Company manufactures and markets dry cell batteries including
         alkaline, zinc carbon, alkaline rechargeable, hearing aid, and other
         specialty batteries and lighting products throughout the world. These
         product lines are sold in all geographic areas except Latin America
         where revenues have historically been derived primarily from zinc
         carbon and some alkaline batteries and lighting products.

         Net sales and cost of sales to other segments have been eliminated. The
         gross contribution of inter segment sales is included in the segment
         selling the product to the external customer. Segment revenues are
         based upon the geographic area in which the product is sold.

         The reportable segment profits do not include interest expense,
         interest income, and income tax expense. Also, not included in the
         reportable segments, are corporate expenses including corporate
         purchasing expense, general and administrative expense and research and
         development expense. Research and development depreciation and
         amortization costs are reflected as corporate expense. All other
         depreciation and amortization included in income from operations is
         related to reportable segments amortization. Costs are identified to
         reportable segments or corporate, according to the function of each
         cost center. Variable allocations of revenues and costs are not made
         for segment reporting.

         The reportable segment assets do not include cash, deferred tax
         benefits, investments, long term inter company receivables, most
         deferred charges, and miscellaneous assets. All capital expenditures
         are related to reportable segments. Variable allocations of assets are
         not made for segment reporting.

     8   GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES (ROV HOLDING, INC. AND ROVCAL, INC.)

         The following condensed consolidating financial data illustrate the
         composition of the consolidated financial statements. Investments in
         subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company and the Guarantor
         Subsidiaries using the equity method for purposes of the consolidating
         presentation. Earnings of subsidiaries are therefore reflected in the
         Company's and Guarantor Subsidiarys' investment accounts and earnings.
         The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries
         and inter-company balances and transactions. Separate financial
         statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because
         management has determined that such financial statements would not be
         material to investors. There are no components of other comprehensive
         income related to the Guarantor Subsidiaries.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FISCAL FIRST QUARTER ENDED JANUARY 2, 2000 COMPARED TO
FISCAL FIRST QUARTER ENDED JANUARY 3, 1999

         NET SALES. Net sales for the three months ended January 2, 2000 (the
"Fiscal 2000 Quarter") increased $54.3 million, or 33.8%, to $214.8 million
from $160.5 million in the three months ended January 3, 1999 (the "Fiscal
1999 Quarter"). The increase was driven by increased sales of alkaline
batteries, lighting products, plus an additional $30.9 million in sales in
Latin America, which was the result of acquiring the Latin America battery
business from ROV Limited in August, 1999.

         NET INCOME. Net income for the Fiscal 2000 Quarter increased $3.9
million, or 39.0%, to $13.9 million from $10.0 million in the Fiscal 1999
Quarter. The increase reflects the impact of sales growth, and the Latin
American acquisition, partially offset by slightly lower margins and increased
interest expense.

         SEGMENT RESULTS. The Company manages operations in three reportable
segments based upon geographic area. North America includes the United States
and Canada; Latin America includes Mexico, Central America, and South
America; Europe/Rest of World ("Europe/ROW") includes the United Kingdom,
Europe and all other countries in which the company does business. We
evaluate segment profitability based on income from operations before
corporate expense which includes corporate purchasing expense, general and
administrative expense and research and development expense.

</TABLE>


         Our revenue from external customers increased $25.3 million, or 17.9%,
to $166.4 million in the Fiscal 2000 Quarter from $141.1 million the previous
year due primarily to increased sales of alkaline batteries, heavy duty
batteries, and lighting products. Alkaline sales increases were driven by strong
promotional programs, new customers, and expanded distribution with existing
customers. Exclusive distribution to a major mass merchandiser contributed to
the increase in sales of heavy duty batteries. Sales of lighting products
increased due primarily to new products and new distribution. Sales of hearing
aid batteries decreased in the Fiscal 2000 Quarter from last year, primarily as
a result of planned inventory reduction at several retail distribution accounts
and the discontinuation of some quarterly promotion programs.

         Our profitability increased $4.8 million, or 19.2%, to $29.8 million
in fiscal 2000 from $25.0 million in the Fiscal 1999 Quarter. This increase
was primarily attributed to the sales increase and net sales growing faster
than expenses.

         In August 1999, we acquired the consumer battery business of ROV
Limited in Latin America. ROV Limited was one of our customers before the
acquisition. The Fiscal 2000 Quarter sales in the region are primarily heavy
duty batteries. Revenue for the region for the Fiscal 1999 Quarter represents
sales primarily to ROV Limited as an external customer.

                                       15

         Our profitability was $5.7 million, which was 18.4% of net sales for
the Fiscal 2000 Quarter, which represents an increase of $5.3 million from the
Fiscal 1999 Quarter.

</TABLE>

         Our revenue from external customers decreased $0.1 million, or 0.6%, to
$17.5 million in the Fiscal 2000 Quarter from $17.6 million the previous year.
Decreased sales of hearing aid and watch batteries were partially offset by
increased sales of alkaline batteries and lighting products. Our profitability
increased $0.5 million, or 31.3%, due to reduced operating expenses.

         CORPORATE EXPENSE. Our corporate expense increased $1.2 million, or
17.6%, to $8.0 million in the Fiscal 2000 Quarter from $6.8 million the prior
year. As a percentage of total sales, our corporate expense was 3.7% compared to
4.2% in the previous year. This increase was primarily due to increased legal
expense and depreciation and other costs related to the operation of our new
computer systems.

         SPECIAL CHARGES. We recorded no special charges in the Fiscal 2000
Quarter. Special charges of $0.6 million were recognized in the Fiscal 1999
Quarter for the relocation of equipment and personnel resulting from the
previously announced manufacturing rationalization projects.

         INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. Our income from operations increased $9.9
million, or 50.5%, to $29.5 million in the Fiscal 2000 Quarter from $19.6
million the previous year. This increase was primarily due to increased sales
and gross profit which includes the Latin American acquisition, partially
offset by increased expenses.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $4.4 million, or 118.9%,
to $8.1 million in the Fiscal 2000 Quarter from $3.7 million in the prior year
primarily due to financing costs associated with the Latin American acquisition
and higher working capital requirements to meet the expanding sales growth.

         INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Our effective tax rate for the Fiscal 2000 Quarter
was 35.0% compared to 36.3% for the Fiscal 2000 Quarter. The lower rate this
year is partially the result of more foreign income.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         For the Fiscal 2000 Quarter, operating activities provided $9.0
million in net cash compared with $6.0 million for Fiscal 1999 Quarter.
Operating cash flow before working capital requirements generated $20.5
million in cash flow compared to $13.6 million in the year ago quarter
reflecting improvement in income from operations and higher non-cash
expenses. Non-cash expenses increased $3.0 million to $6.6 million in the
Fiscal 2000 Quarter from $3.6 million in the Fiscal 1999 Quarter. This
increase is the result of amortization of intangible assets that were
recognized as part of the Latin American acquisition and depreciation on the
SAP business enterprise system which was installed in fiscal year 1999.
Working capital requirements used cash of $11.5 million in the Fiscal 2000
Quarter which was $3.9 million higher than the Fiscal 1999 Quarter. This
reflects a larger increase in receivables than was experienced in the Fiscal
1999 Quarter primarily resulting from increased sales volume. Cash costs
associated with the restructuring activities announced in Fiscal 1999 have
been and are expected to be funded with cash provided from operations.

         Net cash used by investing activities decreased $0.9 million versus the
same period a year ago primarily reflecting lower capital expenditures and
proceeds from the sale of a long-term asset held for sale. Capital expenditures
for the Fiscal 2000 Quarter were approximately $3.5 million, a decrease of $0.5
million from the Fiscal 1999 Quarter. Expenditures in the current year were
primarily for improvements to alkaline battery manufacturing and information
systems hardware and software. The Company currently expects capital spending
for fiscal 2000 to be

                                       16
<PAGE>

approximately $25.0 million due to alkaline capacity expansion, alkaline
vertical integration programs, and enhancements to our warehouse and
distribution systems.

         During the Fiscal 2000 Quarter our board of directors granted
approximately 523,500 options to purchase shares of common stock to various
employees of the company under the 1996 Stock Option Plan and the 1997
Incentive Plan. All grants have been at an exercise price equal to the market
price of the common stock on the date of the grant.

         The Company believes that cash flow from operating activities and
periodic borrowings under its planned amended credit facilities will be
adequate to meet the Company's short-term and long-term liquidity
requirements prior to the maturity of those credit facilities, although no
guarantee can be given in this regard. The Company's current credit
facilities include a revolving credit facility of $250.0 million and term
loan of $75 million. As of January 2, 2000, $70.3 million of the term loan
remained outstanding and $182.1 million was outstanding under the revolving
facility with approximately $15.8 million of the remaining availability
utilized for outstanding letters of credit.

Year 2000

         We undertook a Year 2000 project designed to remediate the impact of
the Year 2000 issue on our hardware and software systems, as well as other
business processes.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000. We have experienced no material disruption to date to our
systems, processes, customers or suppliers attributable to Year 2000.

COSTS TO ADDRESS YEAR 2000 ISSUES. Expenditures directly related to
identification, evaluation and remediation of Year 2000 exposures were $0.7
million through fiscal 1999. Expenditures for the quarter ending January 2, 2000
were less than $0.1 million.
No further expenditures are projected.

         Capital expenditures for projects undertaken for other reasons, but
which addressed Year 2000 issues (primarily SAP), were $11.7 million through
fiscal 1999. Other costs associated with these capital expenditures were $2.2
million.

RISK OF YEAR 2000 ISSUES. Although there have been no material disruptions to
date, disruptions to systems, processes, suppliers or customers could still
occur. We do not expect the impact on the Company's operations from any such
disruptions to be material.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


MARKET RISK FACTORS

         We have market risk exposure from changes in interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We use derivative financial
instruments for purposes other than trading to mitigate the risk from such
exposures.

         A discussion of our accounting policies for derivative financial
instruments is included in Note 1 "Significant Accounting Policies and
Practices" in Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

INTEREST RATE RISK

         We have bank lines of credit at variable interest rates. The general
level of U.S. interest rates, LIBOR, IBOR, and to a lesser extent European Base
rates, primarily affects interest expense. We use interest rate swaps to manage
such risk. The net amounts to be paid or received under interest rate swap
agreements are accrued as interest rates

                                       17
<PAGE>

change, and are recognized over the life of the swap agreements, as an
adjustment to interest expense from the underlying debt to which the swap is
designated. The related amounts payable to, or receivable from, the contract
counterparties are included in accrued liabilities or accounts receivable.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

         We are subject to risk from sales and loans to our subsidiaries as well
as sales to, purchases from and bank lines of credit with, third-party
customers, suppliers and creditors, respectively, denominated in foreign
currencies. Foreign currency sales are made primarily in Pounds Sterling,
Canadian Dollars, German Marks, French Francs, Italian Lira, Spanish Pesetas,
Dutch Guilders, Mexican Pesos, Guatemalan Quetzals, Dominican Pesos, Venezuelan
Bolivars and Honduran Lempira. Foreign currency purchases are made primarily in
Pounds Sterling, German Marks, French Francs, Mexican Pesos, Dominican Pesos,
and Guatemalan Quetzals. We manage our foreign exchange exposure from
anticipated sales, accounts receivable, intercompany loans, firm purchase
commitments and credit obligations through the use of naturally occurring
offsetting positions (borrowing in local currency), forward foreign exchange
contracts, foreign exchange rate swaps and foreign exchange options. The related
amounts payable to, or receivable from, the contract counter parties are
included in accounts payable or accounts receivable.

COMMODITY PRICE RISK

         We are exposed to fluctuation in market prices for purchases of zinc
used in the manufacturing process. We use commodity swaps, calls and puts to
manage such risk. The maturity of, and the quantities covered by, the contracts
are closely correlated to our anticipated purchases of the commodities. The cost
of calls, and the premiums received from the puts, are amortized over the life
of the contracts and are recorded in cost of goods sold, along with the effects
of the swap, put and call contracts. The related amounts payable to, or
receivable from, the counterparties are included in accounts payable or accounts
receivable.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

         The analysis below is hypothetical and should not be considered a
projection of future risks. Earnings projections are before tax.

         As of January 2, 2000, the potential change in fair value of
outstanding interest rate derivative instruments, assuming a 1% unfavorable
shift in the underlying interest rates would be a loss of $2.1 million. The net
impact on reported earnings, after also including the reduction in one year's
interest expense on the related debt due to the same shift in interest rates,
would be a net gain of $0.4 million.

         As of January 2, 2000, the potential change in fair value of
outstanding foreign exchange rate derivative instruments, assuming a 10%
unfavorable change in the underlying foreign exchange rates would be a loss of
$1.9 million. The net impact on future cash flows, after also including the gain
in value on the related accounts receivable and contractual payment obligations
outstanding at January 2, 2000 due to the same change in exchange rates, would
be a net loss of $.1 million.

         As of January 2, 2000, the potential change in fair value of
outstanding commodity price derivative instruments, assuming a 10% unfavorable
change in the underlying commodity prices would be a loss of $0.4 million. The
net impact on reported earnings, after also including the reduction in cost of
one year's purchases of the related commodities due to the same change in
commodity prices, would be a net gain of $1.3 million.
